Returnee reports - Anne Boleyn
Our returnee-level students have worked very hard on their reports. Here is Kyungji's report on Anne Boleyn.
Anne Boleyn: A Poor Life
Anne Boleyn had a poor life. The famous mother of England’s Elizabeth I, she caused England to break with the Catholic Church by forcing Henry VIII to get a divorce. She was kind and gave a lot of money to the poor. She also tried to lighten punishment for the people. But why was she an unhappy woman? She didn’t have a son, and she lost his boy. Finally, she was beheaded.
To understand what happened to Anne Boleyn, a person needs to understand the time and place in which she lived.
Welcome to sixteenth century England. It was an unhappy time here in London. People everywhere were poor. Many people were unhappy with the Catholic Church. Punishment was harsh. Also, many people were sick with diseases like sweating sickness and the black death. But the real story was that Henry VIII wanted a boy, but he didn’t have a son. Who could imagine not having a prince? Or being ruled by a woman?
Before he or she was famous, she was a noble who served the queen. She came closer to fame when she had an affair with King Henry VIII. Many people thought that Henry and Anne did not like each other, but that’s spurious. Henry VIII was a haughty king who was proud of his wife Anne Boleyn. She married Henry VIII after making him get a divorce. England changed from a Catholic to a Protestant country. Finally, Anne was the mother of Elizabeth I who was perhaps the greatest English ruler of all time.
Most people now do not like Anne Boleyn, but they confuse her last stress-filled years with the rest of her life. In the end, Anne Boleyn was very poor and unhappy. Henry VII needed a son. She didn’t have a boy, and she had a stillborn son, which was very deleterious. But before that, Henry VIII clearly loved her. A Venetian ambassador wrote of this love in his letters. He wrote that her eyes were very beautiful and that the king loved her very much. Also, the people who served the queen with Anne liked her very much. Finally, the executioner who killed Anne cared for her too and tried to make her execution less painful.
In addition, Anne made many important contributions during her short life. There were a lot of poor people. Anne was not cruel but kind and gave money to them. There were very big harsh punishments for religion. Anne tried to lighten punishment. Finally, and most importantly, she was the mother of Elizabeth I who would make England a world power.
At first, I thought Anne Boleyn was very selfish, and she wasn’t good to Henry VIII, but that’s not true. An egoist, who was only concerned with having a son, Henry VIII divorced Catherine of Aragon, causing trouble with the Catholic Church, killed Anne Boleyn, and eventually had six wives all to try to obtain a prince. I also wondered if she was really pretty, but she wasn’t. Some writers says that she is not pretty. Anyway, she was not ugly in the I saw. I was very surprised to learn about Anne Boleyn. I thought she was not good to King Henry VIII, but she was.

Returnee reports - Marie Antoinette
Our returnees have worked very hard on their historical reports. Here is Julie's report on Marie Antoinette.
Marie Antoinette: Really Poor
When her last day came, she had her head cut off. People used to say last words, but because she stepped on the executioner’s foot and she said she was sorry for that, she died without saying any last words. Before she died, she used to spend lots of money on pretty fancy clothes. Later she used her power to try to stop the French Revolution, but it was too late.
It helps to understand the time and place in which she lived in order to understand Marie Antoinette.
Welcome to eighteenth century France. It was a hard time here in Paris. Poor people were everywhere. Taxes were high. The king and queen spent lots of money, and there was a bread famine. But the real story is that after the American Revolution, the French thought a revolution was a good idea. Who could imagine the beautiful Marie Antoinette in prison?
Before she became famous, she was a princess in Austria. She came closer to fame when she married Louis XVI. However, she finally became really famous when she got killed during the French Revolution.
Most people did not like Marie Antoinette. After the Diamond Necklace Affair, in which a woman stole a diamond necklace by saying it was for Marie Antoinette, people hated Marie Antoinette more. When people thought Marie Antoinette said, “Let them eat cake,” the people hated her even more. They believed she didn’t understand the poor. Even Marie Antoinette’s executioner thought she was bad! She stepped on his foot, and she said she was sorry. Then he killed her fast. I think Marie Antoinette had many problems that were not her fault and had a poor life.
Unfortunately, we only remember the things that were bad about her. Marie Antoinette supposedly said, “Let them eat cake.” Even though she did not really say it, people believed it and felt really bad. The Diamond Necklace Affair was another important event in Marie Antoinette’s life. Although it was not true, People thought she didn’t want to pay the money for the necklace. Also, she tried to end the French Revolution even though it didn’t work, so the government of France changed. In the end, she was beheaded in France. She died, and there were no more Queens of France.
Many people accused her during her life. She was poor, but I don’t care! When I first saw her picture, I thought she was ugly. I thought she had a wonderful life, but she had a really bad life. She was just born in the wrong time and the wrong place.
